Haven't come across this dark side of the PC platform, fortunately. I think you can blacklist servers though.

The problem being that all Xbox BF3 servers are now player run, or if the EA ones are still up they don't show up in the server browser. 24/7 Metro with 1000% tickets is also being used to abuse the stats system.

How do they abuse the stat system other than the insane amount of points you get if your any good on that map. It doesnt really affect me. I am Col. service star 19 WTH can I unlock?I do like the patch no more USAS or famas spamming. Since patch has anyones loadout changed? Mine hasn't I have been a big Support user and a M60/MG36 have been my mainstay. If I want to run around quick like I use the MG36. If I want throw some serious lead and scare some ruskies I use "The Pig". I am a little let down at the fact the MG36 doesnt have extended mags so it not to good a suppression anymore. But the heavy barrel is sweet.

Foregrip is useless to me now. Not a fan of the Bipod, but it's better than nothing.

DICE really needs to let you turn off the horrible blue colour stuff, because the game looks many, many times better without it. Especially Sharqi, I don';t even like playing on that map because of the horrible sub effects and how dull and dark every colour is.

After watching that video with the colors blue/grey filter off I really dont understand why they didnt put an option in the settings to turn it off. Istead now people have to rely on hacks for a better graphical experience (and advantage fkors).

Dunno, but they are going to ban people caught using it. I'm not even sure why I have the game installed anymore since it isn't very much fun to actually play most of the time and has very few decent maps.

That video looks better without the change IMO.

Yeah, despite how much I did almost the exact same thing to Fallout 3 and loved it, I prefer the drabber colors for BF3.

IRNV is an awful addition to the game anyway so nothing of value is lost there. I cannot wait to see how this affects their "night time" maps (like one of the new ones in Armored Kill, which is just a weird dark blue colour that doesn't have any resemblance to night time, its worse than the old filters they put on cameras to film "night scenes" during the day).
If this works out, thanks DICE
EDIT: Pink tanks!

There are also better things to use than thermal vision on vehicles anyway. IR Smoke and Zoom Optics are both superior.

So, turns out DICE was has backed off on this and will no longer be offering this command to turn off the horrid colour gradings because it would work against the "unique identity" of the game. Yeah okay DICE, sure it will sure, and I will also happily buy your future games full price /s

ahah, they got you well, too bad they already have your money, suckers!! 
I never got the game because I was disappointed with the beta. Turns out I did well, considering they're pulling an IW on you.

The crossbow and Scavenger both sound like terrible ideas. Cautiously optimistic about the maps though. Large urban combat maps with vehicles? Yes please, Karkand and Tehran need companions. Hopefully destruction is significant. I still pine for the fierce battles and devastation over that seaside town in Arica.

Well most of the maps don't seem to have much room foe vehicles, mostly a lot of narrow streets and the one in the presidential palace only allows vehicles (one with a mounted grenade launcher) to drive in circles around the outside. Then again by the end of the video review I was watching I realized the idiot making them was reviewing it on the PS3. Never going to nowgamer again (their 8bit intro music is incredibly annoying anyway).
